Fresh snowstorm sparks chaos on US east coast
The second major snowstorm in a week has today swept up the US east coast, piling on already-snowbound Washington, where most federal government offices have been shut down since last week, and moving on to New York City.
The storm dumped more than 10 inches (25 centimetres) of snow on parts of the Washington area that already had been hit with three feet (90 centimetres) in a blizzard over the weekend.
